* [gentoo-user] Can I delete "/usr/lib64/perl5/*_perl/5.12.2/"?

A while back I installed a bundle of perl modules outside of portage.
I never got around to using a cruft script to get rid of them and now
that I've moved from perl-5.12.2 to 5.12.3, I'm thinking it might be
as easy as:

# rm /usr/lib64/perl5/*_perl/5.12.2

Is that safe?  Should it eliminate all traces of the stale perl modules?

Apparently, though unproven, at 21:21 on Thursday 09 June 2011, Grant did 
opine thusly:

Yes, that's the way it is done. Also look in /usr/share/{doc|man} and the same 
dir structures in /usr/local/

If you run "equery files" on a random bunch of perl ebuilds, you'll see that 
most only put files in those perl libs and /usr/share/doc/, so you've probably 
got most stuff covered
